Supercharge Your Apps with All-Flash Storage

The tipping point has arrived. Large enterprises are planning their nextgeneration datacenters around flash-based storage, and for good reason. Flash arrays provide read and write performance that is orders of magnitude faster than spinning media at a total cost of ownership that is on par with disk and will soon be lower. The benefits not only include improved application performance, but more consistent performance, lower latency, reduced storage footprint, streamlined storage administration, and lower operating costs. These advantages are too beneficial to your business to ignore. That's why flash is becoming the standard for new storage investments.

Global adoption of the cloud is accelerating at a dizzying rate each year with businesses of all sizes realizing the cost-saving, flexibility, and scalability benefits of migrating and running applications in the cloud. In our 2019 State of Application Services report, 87% of respondents reported having multicloud architectures.

As pressure to move applications to cloud and hybrid environments intensifies, IT teams must grapple with sometimes significant migration challenges. Though each migration is different, there are several common consi ...

IDC believes that software-defined storage (SDS) continues to transform IT deployment and consumption of storage resources. For enterprises, SDS is really an on-ramp to deploying a hybrid cloud — one that allows a metered on-demand consumption of private and public cloud resources. Deploying SDS therefore is not a question of "if" but a question of "when." IDC's August 2015 Software-Defined Infrastructure Survey found that 75% of enterprises have deployed or are considering deploying some form of SDS in their environment.

in our 36-criterion evaluation of software-based hyperconverged infrastructure (HCi) providers, we identified the 11 most significant ones — Cisco, dataCore, Hewlett Packard enterprise (HPe), Huawei, Maxta, Netapp, Nutanix, Pivot3, Scale Computing, Stratoscale, and vMware — and researched, analyzed, and scored them. This report details our findings about how well each vendor scored on the criteria and where they stand in relation to each other. infrastructure and operations (i&amp;o) professionals can use this evaluation to select the right par ...

Many CIOs have given their teams a strategic objective around the use of cloud technologies with the intent of optimally balancing their workload mix across both on- and off-premises locations. This white paper introduces and discusses what a truly unified hybrid cloud vision means in today's modern enterprises, exploring the benefits, challenges, and requirements associated with achieving it. It then provides a brief overview of what all-flash array (AFA) vendor Pure Storage offers in terms of unified hybrid cloud. After perusing this document ...
